Testimonial for Heather Segal
Heather helped play a major role in making my birth experience seamless. I wanted a doula for my first birth to help me achieve my goal of going unmedicated. I didn't want to put the pressure on my husband to learn all the ways he could support me being that we both worked full time jobs, just moved to the area, and bought our first home. Life was crazy and learning about birth was already a lot. We wanted a doula for both her birth knowledge and her emotional support throughout the process. Heather was our perfect fit. When the day came, Heathers precense was calm, reassuring, and positive from the moment I had my first contraction till being brought to postpartum. My labor was fast, lasting only 5 hours. When my water broke Heather provided us support over the phone as we both decided it was time to go to the hospital. My labor progressed fast and Heather arrived just as I started pushing. Her presence brought a new wave of calmness to the room as she provided immediate support. Within minutes my daughter was born and I achieved my goal of going unmedicated! Despite a small complication of my daughter needing to go to the NICU due to inhaling fluid on the way out, Heather stayed with me throughout the post birth process while my husband went with our daughter. During that time Heathers love, care, and passion really showed and she supported me and reassured me that all was alright. If you are thinking about a doula look no further and reach out to Heather. It will be the best decision you can make!
